Hey, what’s going on everyone? After years of an empty garage and no modifications to the existing staff fleet, we have finally got something new-ish.
Say hello to the Z4 we should have just initially got after the unfortunate incident with the Z3 M Roadster: an Imola Red 2006 Z4 M Roadster, the right successor to our previous Zed. Here she is after her first wash.
As you already know, the Z4 M is powered by a 3.2-litre straight-six engine (S54B32). Performance figures are: 3,246 cc displacement, 333 brake horsepower (248 kW) at 7,900 rpm, 269 lb·ft (365 N·m) of torque at 4,900 rpm, 8,000 rpm redline. Output per litre is 107 bhp (80 kW; 108 PS), and power-to-weight ratio is 9.9 lb/bhp. Acceleration to 60 mph (96km/h) comes in 4.8 seconds. (0-62mph / 100km/h is 5.0) and top speed is limited electronically to 156 mph (251 km/h).
It would be our pleasure, of course, to massage those numbers as high as possible. Here is a shot of her waving good bye to our out going 3.0. As great of a car as it was, it just did not suit our purposes.
